That’s a big part of why we’re making Couch Planes.

Up to 4-player split-screen, plus hybrid multiplayer, where you can take your couch crew online and kick some other couch butts.

Would you play something like this after work?

A fresh look at Couch Planes gameplay. The game supports split-screen for up to 4 players, plus hybrid multiplayer so you can bring your couch crew online and kick some other couch butts.

Couch Planes is a fast-paced arcade flying game where you race through chaotic tracks, blast your rivals out of the sky, take risky shortcuts, dodge incoming rockets, and leave a trail of broken bridges, railings, and props behind you.

You can play locally with friends, jump into online matches with up to 12 players, or combine both and bring your couch crew into the chaos.

We’re currently preparing Playtest 3, it's coming soon and you can register here:

We’re preparing Couch Planes for an upcoming playtest, and one of the things we’re testing right now is Steam Deck support.

It’s a fast arcade plane racing party game built around speed, tight corners, power-ups, shortcuts, and all the chaos that comes from taking down your enemies.

The current build is still a work in progress, and what you see here is actual gameplay running on Steam Deck LCD. Would love to hear your feedback after you get to play it yourselves.

We’ve been reworking the flight model in Couch Planes, our arcade air racing game, and this clip shows a direct OLD vs NEW comparison at original gameplay speed.

The main changes:

• twin-stick handling
• thumbstick barrel rolls
• faster acceleration
• higher top speed
• cleaner drift
• smoother collisions
• light touchdowns no longer instantly kill your drift
• quicker recovery after takedowns

We’re not saying it’s perfect yet, but compared to where it was even 10 days ago, the game already feels much sharper, faster, and more aggressive.

The goal was to make the game feel less clunky, more responsive, and give it that aggressive bite, while keeping the chaotic arcade racing feel.

Curious what racing game fans think about this direction.

Couch Planes now feels faster, sharper, and more aggressive in the air - now with improved twin-stick flight controls: left stick for steering, right stick for barrel rolls and flips. Perfect for chases, dodges, shortcuts, and chaotic dogfights.
